The first season of The Resident is almost over, but there is still plenty of time to catch up on this series!
The Resident has garnered a devoted fan base, plenty of discourse, and some ire as a result of its subject matter. The series takes on all aspects of the American Healthcare, and it's not always pretty.
Check out our list of reasons why you should give the series a chance.

1. Matt Czuchry's Impressive Performance The most notable roles on Matt Czuchry's résumé are as Logan on Gilmore Girls and Cary Agos on The Good Wife. On both shows, he put forth memorable performances and won over fans with his talent. Conrad Hawkins is arguably his best role to date. After years of supportive roles, Czuchry finally stepped into his rightful place as the star of his own series. It was long over-due. Conrad Hawkins is rough around the edges character who is brilliant but flawed. He's a layered individual, arrogant but compassionate, honorable but ornery, and closed off while simultaneously wearing his heart on his sleeve. Czuchry captures the contradictory and complex nature of this character with such nuance and finesse. It's some of his best work and worthy of a view.
2. It's Brutally Honest about American Healthcare Medical dramas are a dime a dozen. Audiences adore them. However, most series fail to capture the growing sense of disillusionment Americans have towards the healthcare system. It's a hot-button issue that is at the forefront of social movements and politics. It's a system not without flaws and pitfalls. The Resident is not only a compelling medical drama that wades into territory other series dare not enter, but it's a crusade that gives voice to the unheard who fall through the cracks of a broken system. The series takes a novel albeit controversial approach by exploring the business and financial aspects of healthcare and how they trickle down to the patient. The series has taken on upcoding, patient dumping, incentivized treatment, the alarming medical error rate and much more. It's controversial, and it makes people uncomfortable, but it's honest. The Resident unapologetically tackles the less pretty sides of an intricate system, and that separates it from the pack.
3. Devon Pravesh – The Importance of Manish Dayal's Quietly Profound Performance and Representation Asian/Southeast Asian doctors are number one of minorities and the second largest ethnic group of American doctors. They make up about 20% of the field, but that's rarely reflected in medical shows, including those who pride themselves on having a diverse cast. Devon Pravesh as the star of a primetime medical drama is an accomplishment. Devon's race factors into the show, but i..

The 100 premiered with an unforgettable premiere, most of which explored Clarke and Madi's adventures on the ground and the SpaceKru preparing to finally come down to join them.
The end of The 100 Season 5 Episode 1 though effortlessly transitioned into the bunker's current state, or more specifically the blood-soaked world that Octavia seems to be in charge of.
The second episode of the season is using the title "Red Queen" which we can safely assume means Octavia. And the synopsis for the episode is, "Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos) is forced to take guidance from an unlikely ally when the future of the bunker and all those inside it is jeopardized."
Now, this preview may contain some light teases about the second episode, with a specific focus on characters and scenes that have been discussed before or have been included in promotional videos and/or photos.
Proceed with caution if you like to be kept in the dark, but really, who likes that?
Similar to the premiere, this episode will follow the people in the bunker from around the time that they end up stuck because of Praimfaya to the present day that we caught a glimpse of in the last few moments.
It is clear that a lot has changed under Octavia's leadership after six years and the vivid imagination that Bellamy seems to be using when talking about his sister is far from the actual truth.
There is no better way to describe what is happening down there outside of that gif where the dog says everything is fine while everything around him is burning.
But this was an episode that I do not doubt that many will appreciate because of the storytelling that went into covering six chaotic years in under an hour.
In fact, it felt almost like watching an action movie that covers so much ground, pun intended, and yet still leaves us curious about all the gaps that haven't been filled in for us yet.

Season 1 Vibes Maybe?
Binge watching The 100 Season 1 still feels fresh in my mind because I remember doing it in about two days and the scenes on the Ark always ended up leaving me at the edge of my seat.
Like literally, I would end up sitting at the edge of a chair because I couldn't relax when so many twists were making their way through each episode.
That is mostly how I felt watching Red Queen because it was a self-contained story that forced me to realize that I had no idea what was going to happen but that a considerable population was at stake with every decision.
The Ark also had many of the same issues, because when it came down to it, all the laws that they inflicted came from a need to make sure their population had enough food, water, and air.
As painful as it was to stomach some of the choices that the leaders made, it was even harder to imagine people dying in significant numbers instead.
The Bunker may represent this predicament considering they have the biggest population..

Maia is having the worst day ever. From her shocked expression in the trailer for Shadowhunters Season 3 Episode 7, she just came face-to-face with the last person she ever wanted to see again. Awkward!
We know little about Maia's past, except for that she's from New Jersey and she got infected by her boyfriend with the werewolf curse. He disappeared and she stopped trusting people. That moment was what drove her to New York City.
Though, it seems he might be coming back into her life.
Simon's new roommate Kyle looks to be the mysterious ex-boyfriend.
Based on the trailer, we see a quick flashback memory of Maia and Kyle kissing in a car together. Maia's hair is much longer in the scene, so that moment had to have happened years before ever meeting Simon.

From the look on her face, and Kyle's face, neither had planned to see each other any time soon. Even Kyle, who is all-knowing and a member of the Praetor Lupus, didn't plan on reuniting with his ex. She looks blown away and devastated over his return.
Will this cause more trouble for Maia's relationship? Will these two bury the hatchet?
Speaking of reunions, Clary and Jace are having an uncomfortable meeting. Now that it's been revealed he's the owl demon, all she wants to do is save her boyfriend.
Unfortunately for her, Jace has no love for his (ex)girlfriend. (Curse you, Lilith and your potion!)
We see Clary trying to reason with Jace and remind him of their love for each other. Her tactic obviously fails as he proclaims that he doesn't love her at all and he throws her off a roof.
Will she survive the fall?
